An assessment of observer bias in the shunt design trial.

abstract：PURPOSE:Craniosynostosis patients treated with one-stage cranioplasty often have bleeding from the dura mater, fluid collection in the extradural space, and poor wound healing due to skin overstretching. To avoid these complications, we began using distraction osteogenesis. To determine the advantages and disadvantages...
